• General economic and business conditions;
• Company’s ability to successfully implement its strategy, its growth and expansion plans, and technology initiatives;
• Factors affecting the Infrastructure and/or Construction industry;

SECTION III - RISK FACTORS
An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of financial risk. You should carefully consider all information in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks described below, before making an investment in our Equity Shares. The risk factors set forth below do not purport to be complete or comprehensive in terms of all the risk factors that may arise in connection with our business or any decision to purchase, own or dispose of the Equity Shares. This section addresses general risks associated with the industry in which we operate and specific risks associated with our Company. Any of the following risks, as well as the other risks and uncertainties discussed in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, could have a material adverse effect on our business and could cause the trading price of our Equity Shares to decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. In addition, the risks set out in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus are not exhaustive. Additional risks and uncertainties, whether known or unknown, may in the future have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, or which we currently deem immaterial, may arise or become material in the future. Unless otherwise stated in the relevant risk factors set forth below, we are not in a position to specify or quantify the financial or other risks mentioned herein.
Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are not in a position to quantify the financial or other implication of any of the risks described in this section. This Draft Red Herring Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including events described below and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Unless otherwise stated, the financial information used in this section is derived from and should be read in conjunction with restated financial statements of our Company as of and for the Fiscals 2006, 2007, 2008 2009 and 2010 and for the period ended September 30, 2010 in each case prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP, including the schedules, annexure and notes thereto.
Materiality
The Risk factors have been determined on the basis of their materiality. The following factors have been considered for determining the materiality.
1. Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively. 2. Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively.
3. Some events may not be material at present but may be having material impacts in future.
A. Internal to our Company
1. Our operations have been concentrated in State of Maharashtra. Our growth strategy to expand into new geographic areas may pose risks.
Our operations have been geographically concentrated in the State of Maharashtra. Our business is therefore significantly dependent on the general economic conditions and activity in Maharashtra, and the Central and State Government policies relating to infrastructure development. Although investment in the infrastructure sector in the areas in which we operate has been encouraged, there can be no assurance that this will continue.
We may expand geographically, and may not gain acceptance or be able to take advantage of any expansion opportunities outside our current markets. This may place us at a competitive disadvantage and limit our growth opportunities. We face additional risks if we undertake projects in other geographic areas in which we do not possess the same level of familiarity as competitors. If we undertake projects of different size or style than those currently being developed, we may be affected by various factors, including but not limited to: -
i. Obtaining the necessary construction materials and labour in sufficient amounts and on acceptable terms;
ii. Obtaining necessary governmental and other approvals in time or at all;
iii. Attracting potential customers in a market in which we do not have significant experience;
xii
iv. Cost of hiring new employees and absorbing increased infrastructure costs; and v. Adjusting to different weather conditions and culture differences.
2. Contribution of Top 5 customers and Top 10 customers to our Revenue from the Infrastructure business is substantial and if orders from these customers get reduced or are not received then our revenues & results of operations may be adversely affected in the future.
During the financial year 2009-10, top 5 customers and top 10 customers accounted for 59.90% and 62.20%, respectively of our revenue from Infrastructure business. Our major customers include State/State Government Undertakings / Local bodies. Projects received from our existing major customers may decrease in future which may affect our financial condition and results of operations adversely.
In the event, the demand for infrastructure development in general and construction of roads/highways/bridges in particular, reduces or ceases by any reason including political strife or instability or change in policies of State/State Government Undertakings/Local bodies, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Further, it is possible that in certain cases, implementation of budgetary allocation (including external funding) of our major customers may get delayed and consequently our Company may not receive payments against running account bills in a timely manner. Our operations involve substantial working capital requirements and any delayed collection of receivables could adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations.
3. Contracts included in our Order Book may be delayed, cancelled or not fully paid for by our clients, which could materially harm our cash flow position, revenues or profits
The order book of our Company as of any particular date comprises of unbilled/ unfinished portions of the ongoing contracts, for which our Company has received orders but are yet to commence work or commenced work but are not yet billed. The order book of our Company was Rs. 59154.77 Lakhs as of February 15, 2011. The order book is not audited and the proceeds may not get reflected in the financial results in the future. The order book does not necessarily indicate future earnings related to the value of that order and if our Company does not achieve the expected margins or suffers losses on one or more of these orders or if the orders get cancelled or varied, the income of our Company could be reduced or cause our Company to incur a loss. Future earnings related to the performance of the contracts in the order book may not necessarily be realised. Although contracts in the order book represent business that our Company considers firm, cancellations or scope adjustments may occur. Due to changes in contract scope and schedule, our Company cannot predict with any certainty when or if the contracts in the order book will be complete and will generate revenue. In addition, even where a contract proceeds as per schedule, it is possible that it may get delayed in future and that the contracting parties may default and fail to pay amounts owed or dispute the amounts owed to our Company. Further, we are yet to obtain certain insurances as required under the work contracts awarded to us which may result in imposition of penalties or cancellation of some of our works contracts. There may also be delays associated with collection of receivables from clients. Any delay, cancellation or payment default could materially harm the cash flow position, revenues or profits, and adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares of our Company.
4. The business of our Company typically demands high working capital requirements. Additionally, our Company is also required to provide performance guarantees in favour of our customers. If due to some circumstances, our Company is not able arrange sufficient working capital finance at any time, it may adversely affect the results of operations of our Company.
Our business requires high amount of working capital. We have working capital facilities with three banks amounting to Rs. 1,400 Lakhs as on 30th September, 2010. The working capital requirements of our Company have increased in recent years because we are undertaking more number of projects and due to the general growth of our business. At times we are also required to incur significant working capital for purchasing raw materials and for completion of engineering, construction and other work on projects before we receive payments from our clients. This will keep increasing since we are also venturing into the business of Build-Operate-Transfer. In certain cases, we are contractually obligated to fund the working capital requirements of the projects. The working capital requirements of our Company may increase if, under certain contracts, payment terms do not include
xiii
advance payments or such contracts have payment schedules that shift payments toward the end of a project. In our industry, it is customary to provide bank guarantees or performance bonds or performance guarantees in favour of our clients to get contracts. In addition, letters of credit are required for payment obligations of suppliers and sub-contractors. The amount of guarantee facilities available to us depends upon our financial condition and availability of adequate security for the banks and financial institutions that provide us with such facilities. Providing security to obtain bank guarantees and performance bonds increases our working capital needs. If we are unable to provide sufficient collaterals to secure the letters of credit, bank guarantees or performance bonds, our ability to enter into new contracts or obtain adequate supplies could be limited. Providing security to obtain letters of credit, bank guarantees and performance bonds increases our working capital needs. We may not be able to obtain additional letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance bonds to match our increased business requirements. Such bank guarantees and performance bonds also generally impose restrictive covenants on raising additional debt or payment of dividends. Further, due to various factors, including certain extraneous factors such as changes in tariff regulations, interest rates, insurance and other costs or borrowing and lending restrictions, if any, we may not be able to finance our working capital needs, or secure other financing as per our requirement, on acceptable commercial terms. Any such situation may adversely affect the business and growth prospects of our Company.
5. Historically, we have concentrated on contracts related to road infrastructure, urban infrastructure and construction of corporate buildings and also manufacture of RMC. However, in future we may shift our focus and enter new areas of business.
Historically, we have earned our major revenues from contracts in the civil works pertaining to roads, urban infrastructure construction of corporate buildings and manufacture of RMC. While we expect to continue to work in these sectors, we may also enter new areas in infrastructure development and construction. We have limited experience in the execution of each kind of infrastructure development and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in satisfactory completion of such contracts. If we are unable to successfully complete these new infrastructure contracts, our business operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
6. Our inability to manage growth may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We have experienced significant growth in the past years and we expect the construction and infrastructure business to continue to grow at the same pace, in future. Our Gross Income has grown from Rs. 11,445.61 Lakhs in Fiscal 2007 to Rs. 30,185.75 Lakhs in Fiscal 2010, at a CAGR of 38.16% and the profit after tax, as restated, has increased from Rs. 541.48 lakhs in Fiscal 2007 to Rs. 1,928.16 Lakhs in Fiscal 2010, at a CAGR of 52.71%. There can be no assurance that our past performance will be sustained. Further, if this growth continues, it will be a challenge for us to continuously evolve and improve our operational, financial and internal controls. Continued expansion will bring challenges including: -
• preserving the uniform culture, values, work environment and quality across the projects of our Company;
• developing and improving the internal administrative infrastructure, internal controls and other internal systems;
• recruiting, training and retaining sufficient skilled management, technical and marketing personnel and maintaining professional standards; and
• maintaining high levels of client satisfaction.
Any inability to manage the above factors may have an adverse effect on the revenues, business operations of our Company.
7. Seasonality and weather conditions may adversely affect our business.
Our business operations may be materially and adversely affected by severe weather conditions, which may require us to evacuate personnel or curtail services and may result in damage to a portion of our equipment or facilities and resulting in the suspension of operations. In addition, such weather may prevent us from delivering materials to our project sites in accordance with contract schedules or generally reduce our productivity. Our
xiv
operations are also adversely affected by difficult working conditions and extremely high temperatures during summer months and heavy rains during monsoon, which restrict our ability to carry on construction activities and fully utilize our resources. We record revenues for those stages of a project that we complete, after we receive certification from the client that such stage has been successfully completed. Revenues recorded during the first half of our financial year, between April and September, are traditionally lower compared to revenues recorded during the second half of our financial year, due to the peak summer and monsoon seasons falling in the April to September period. During periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, we may continue to incur operating expenses, but our revenues from operations may be delayed or reduced.
8. Common pursuits: Our Promoters have promoted companies/entities/ventures or are associated with companies/entities/ventures in similar industry business segment in which we operate, which may affect our growth on account of likely conflict of interests.
The following companies/entities/ventures, which are in similar line of business, have been promoted by our Promoters or our Promoters are associated with them. Being in the same industry, it may lead to conflict of interest between us and the following companies/firms/entities/ventures.

9. Inability to renew or maintain the statutory and regulatory permits and approvals required to operate the businesses of our Company may have a material adverse effect on our business.
In relation to most of our projects the Government entities and the clients seek the requisite approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions under various laws in the particular area of operation. However, notwithstanding the liabilities of the clients to seek and obtain such statutory clearances, we are also required to obtain certain approvals and licenses for operating our businesses. If we fail to obtain necessary required licenses/approvals, or if there is any delay in obtaining such licenses/approvals, the business and financial condition of ours could be adversely affected. Further, permits, licenses and approvals granted to our clients could be subject to several conditions, and we cannot assure that the client would be able to continuously meet or be able to prove compliance with such conditions. This may lead to cancellation, revocation or suspension of relevant permits, licenses or approvals, which may result in the interruption of the operations and may adversely affect the business and financial condition of our Company. 10. We do not have certain statutory licenses/approvals and/or some of them have
expired. In the absence of these statutory licenses/approvals, we may not be in a position to carry on our operations in future and that may affect our performance or we may have to even face penalties and action can be taken against us by the concerned authorities for carrying on the operations without the requisite licenses/approvals
While we have endeavoured to obtain or apply for all applicable Governmental, statutory and regulatory registrations, permits, licenses and approvals, including renewals thereof, to operate our businesses, certain Governmental or statutory registrations, approvals and/or licenses may have expired or are still pending before the concerned authorities or the applications for the same are yet to be made (or for renewals thereof) for e.g., under certain labour laws including the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970. In future, our Company will be required to renew such permits, licenses and approvals, and obtain new permits, licenses and approvals in order to carry on current business operations and for any proposed new operations. While we believe that we will be able to renew or obtain such registrations, permits, licenses and approvals as and when required, there can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue or renew any of such permits, licenses or approvals or accept registrations in the time-frame anticipated by us or at all. Such non-issuance or non-renewal may result in the interruption of our business operations and may have a material adverse effect on our project completion schedule, results of operations and financial conditions. In extreme cases, we may have to shutdown our plants and/or cease our work at the sites. For further details regarding Approvals, please refer to the section titled “Government Approvals” beginning on page no. 179 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
11. We have not yet finalized or acquired the land for the proposed 3 RMC plants, Asphalt Batch Mix Plant, 2 Wet Mix Plant and Crushing Plant.
We propose to take land at Thane and at Raigad District in Maharashtra on lease basis for setting up Asphalt Batch Mix Plant, 2 Wet Mix Plants and Crushing Plant. We also propose to set up two RMC plants in Maharashtra and one RMC plant in Gujarat. We propose to take land for 3 Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) plants on lease basis. However, we have not yet finalized or identified land required for our proposed 3 RMC plants, Asphalt Batch Mix Plant, 2 Wet Mix Plant and Crushing Plant.
12. We have not yet placed orders for entire plant and machinery amounting to Rs 5055.78 lakhs, being 100% of the total cost of plant and machinery required for our proposed expansion, which exposes us to change in prices at the time of giving orders.
We propose to acquire plant and machinery aggregating Rs. 5,055.78 Lakhs for our proposed expansion and have not yet placed orders for the entire Rs. 5,055.78 Lakhs being 100% of the total cost of plant and machinery required for setting up the proposed project. The details of quotations received appear in the Section titled ‘Objects of the Issue’ beginning on page 31 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We are subject to risks on account of inflation in the price of plant and machinery for which orders have not been
xvi
placed. Our Company has received quotations for these machineries, and negotiations with the vendors have commenced. The purchase of plant and machinery would require us to consider factors including but not limited to pricing, delivery schedule and after-sales maintenance. There may also be a possibility of delay at the suppliers’ end or due to any other reason whatsoever in providing timely delivery of these machineries, which in turn may delay the implementation of the proposed project.
13. We have not entered into any definitive agreements to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds of the Issue.
We intend to use the net proceeds of the Issue for acquisition of Equipments, setting up of 3 Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) plants, Asphalt Batch Mix Plant, 2 Wet Mix Plants, Crushing Plant and general corporate purposes in addition to working capital requirements and issue expenses. For details please see the section “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page no. 31 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We have yet not identified the exact locations where the proposed plants would be set up. We have not entered into any definitive agreements to utilize the net proceeds of the Issue. In addition, our capital expenditure plans are subject to a number of variables, including possible cost overruns and changes in management’s views of the desirability of current plans, among others. There can be no assurance that we will be able to conclude definitive agreements for investments in capital equipments and plants within the anticipated timeframe. Pending utilization of the proceeds out of the Issue for the purposes described in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we intend to temporarily invest the funds in high quality interest bearing liquid instruments, including deposits with banks. There can be no assurance that such investments will not carry risk or generate expected returns.
14. Our funding requirements and deployment of the net proceeds of the Issue are based on management estimates and have not been independently appraised. Our funding requirements and the deployment of the proceeds of the Issue are based on management estimates, current quotations from suppliers and our current business plan. The fund requirements and intended use of proceeds have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution and the deployment of the issue proceeds to the “Objects of the Issue” is entirely at the discretion of the management and is not subject to any monitoring by any independent agency. In view of the competitive and dynamic nature of the infrastructure development and construction industry, we may have to revise our expenditure and fund requirements as a result of variations including in the cost structure, changes in estimates, changes in quotations, exchange rate fluctuations and external factors such as inflationary pressures, which may not be within the control of our management. This may entail rescheduling, revising or cancelling the planned expenditure and fund requirement and increasing or decreasing the expenditure for a particular purpose from its planned expenditure at the discretion of our Board. In addition, the estimated dates of completion of various projects as described herein are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to change due to various factors, some of which may not be in our control. All the above factors may adversely affect the efficient and anticipated utilisation of the Issue proceeds, business operations and financial conditions of our Company. In addition, current quotations from suppliers are only valid for limited periods and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain new quotations from these or other suppliers on the same terms or more favourable terms for us. Further, we are not required to appoint any Monitoring Agency for the issue pursuant to the ICDR Regulations. 15. Some of the Group Companies, firms, ventures promoted by our Promoters have
